Alright, this is Rusty.
Let me level with you. This 16-day forecast is a total flat spell. The only spot on the map is Reef Road and for the vast majority of the time, it’s dead.
There’s a massive gap in any real surf from the start on July 6th all the way through to about July 19th. For a week and a half, we’re talking about waves you could barely get your fins wet on. The swell energy is right in the weak zone (low values like 1, 9, 12 up to 75). On top of that, the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore out of the southeast, which keeps the ocean looking like chopped-up soup.
The single half-decent moment arrives on Monday, July 21st. The wind finally switches to a clean cross-offshore out of the SSW. The swell is still only 3 ft from the E with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is moderate (65). It’s small, but at least it will look clean. The water temp is about 86°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
There isn’t a standout anywhere in this window – it’s all just a wait-and-see kind of deal. Forget the shortboard. If you’re desperate, that small, clean session on the 21st might work on a longboard. Usually, this area has more life, so a run this quiet is unusual; forecasts can always flip.
Rusty.

Information about the Reef Road Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Reef Road provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Reef Road can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Reef Road surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Reef Road) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Reef Road may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Reef Road is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Riviera Beach. If you plan a vacation in South Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Riviera Beach. Riviera Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
